Hacking Laziness: How to Outwit, Outsmart & Outmaneuver Procrastination

by Mike Buffington

"The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you." -Tony Robbins

Clutter isn't just physical, but mental as well. Every unfinished task takes up mental space and energy.

Procrastinators tend to be thinkers rather than doers.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” -Winston Churchill

Truly your only power is in the present moment, and that is where the most productive people on the planet live their lives.

Hack: Be aware that time is a precious and limited commodity. No one lives forever. Time is slipping by faster and faster each day. Dispel the illusion that there will be plenty of time to get it done. When you find yourself at the end of your life, will you look back with pride and satisfaction at all you've lived and accomplished? Or will you look back with painful regret at all you've never gotten around to doing?

"If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead, make your work more pleasurable." -Donald Trump
